A Google-co-authored study across US, UK, and Australia found widespread distribution of AI-generated explicit content in private channels. Researchers identify the source—the AI tools themselves—as the most critical intervention point, yet recent red-teaming shows leading image generators from Google and OpenAI may be worsening at blocking explicit outputs as they become more capable. The non-consensual content is primarily shared in private messages and clouds, making detection difficult.

Key points

  • AI image generators from Google and OpenAI increasingly tricked into generating explicit content
  • Non-consensual content spreads primarily through private channels
  • Researchers identify AI tools at source as most critical intervention point
  • Regulatory action remains minimal despite growing concern
